Jennifer Garner is InStyle’s January cover girl! In this issue, the actress, producer, and soon-to-be mom of three clues us in to her secret to happiness (and sanity). One key element—her support system, husband Ben Affleck. “I don’t know how or why it works as well as it does,” Garner says of her relationship. “Honestly, I would do anything for that man, because I know it’s not taken for granted,” she adds. And their family is growing—daughters Seraphina and Violet will get another sibling any minute now. “I wish I was one of those cute pregnant girls who wear skinny jeans throughout their pregnancies,” says Garner. “But I just gain weight. I’m trying really hard to be mindful, but when I’m making the kids mac and cheese, I want it badly.” As for where you’ll see her next, check out Butter, a movie she produced and stars in, hitting theaters in 2012. “I identified with her loss of identity,” she says of her character. “You identify with your career then become a mom and put everything you have into the happiness of those kids. And though I wouldn’t change it for anything, you lose part of yourself.” For more of our exclusive interview with Jennifer Garner, pick up the new January issue of InStyle, on newsstands Friday.

Ben is one of People’s Sexiest Man Alive – Sexy At Every Age. They included a snipbit of Ben’s EW quote about Jen in it:
BEN AFFLECK, 39
It was his multitasking turn as actor, screenwriter and director in 2010′s The Town that ushered in the new and improved Affleck – complete with a box-office six-pack! “I’m happier than I’ve ever been,” the self-proclaimed “Mr. Mom” told EW. “I’m extremely lucky in my family. I’m married to this incredible woman [Jennifer Garner].”
Ben is now back home after busy filming Argo. So hopefully we will get new pics of Ben and Jen with the girls soon!Tweet

With the GOP debates attracting the media’s attention, film producer Harvey Weinstein recently decided to jump on the bandwagon by officially inviting Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann to join him in co-hosting the upcoming Iowa premiere of his politic satire “Butter.”
“I would, of course, be more than happy to fly in the other leading members of the Tea Party movement to make an entire day of it. We could take some math classes in the morning to help balance the budget, brush up on the Constitution in the afternoon, play some ping-pong,” Weinstein said in the statement to Bachmann. “But at night we can all go hand-in-hand to the premiere of ‘Butter,’ a fun and important film where we’ll share some popcorn and laughs.”
(Bachmann did not respond to a request for comment regarding Weinstein’s invitation.)
Set in Iowa, “Butter” features Jennifer Garner as uptight Midwestern housewife Laura Picker, who will stop at nothing to reclaim her husband’s esteemed title as the town’s butter-carving champion. However, her win is threatened by a young, African-American adopted girl with a talent for sculpting.
“Some people seem to think this competition is about who is the most disadvantaged,” the Pickler character says in her speech before the competition results are announced. “I’m sorry that I was born white and tall and pretty.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Garner’s role appears to be deeply inspired by Sarah Palin and/or Michele Bachmann, and Weinstein’s Bachmann invitation was simply a thinly-veiled dig at tea partiers and Republicans.
But Garner herself told FOX411’s Pop Tarts that she never intended to poke fun at anyone, and hopes that Iowans don’t have any hard feelings.
“I don’t know if I would want to watch it with a politician, but I would like to watch it in Iowa and see if they are still friends with me after because we made it with such respect,” she said. “And I come from a small town, so I just want to make sure that they enjoy it and have as much fun with it as we intend for them to have.”
Garner said she enjoyed her rare opportunity to spend months surrounded by, well, butter.
“I love movies where you’re immersed in a world you know nothing about and you see that they’re universal. I was all for butter carving,” she added. “I used butter in the icing for a cake today so no (not sick of it yet!) I go through a lot of butter.”

Jennifer Garner is avoiding maternity clothes for her red carpet appearances, though not exactly by choice. “[My stylist] Rachel Zoe is so determined to not put me in maternity clothes,” the actress told InStyle.com the AFI Fest’s screening of Butter in Los Angeles this weekend. “I think because she was so little when she was pregnant, she didn’t wear them.” So, while Garner wore an off-the-runway Lanvin dress to the event, she also sees maternity wear in her future. “I have four months to go. Sooner or later, she is going to have to put me in a maternity dress. Eventually that is going to happen, but so far she has gotten her way.”
